Over the past six years, former Orange County Commissioner Rod Love and Attorney Greg Jackson, known as the “Dynamic Duo,” have hosted the weekly radio talk show program “Let’s Talk About It” that was broadcast on WOKB 1680 AM. The program is now broadcasted from the Let’s Talk Nation podcast studio. They have tackled tough issues and been called on many times to facilitate efforts to address community issues.
“Our role in this process is to facilitate a meaningful conversation with the candidates so that the community has a chance to hear directly who the best person is to represent Apopka’s residents,” Love stated to a group of residents, as quoted in a press release.
“While I typically focus on state and federal campaigns, the local races such as this are important to address the everyday needs of residents, and our hope is to allow the candidates the opportunity to express matters of importance to residents directly,” Jackson said.
“Let’s Talk About It” is broadcast live every Monday from 7-8 p.m. from Let’s Talk Nation Network.
